Wendy Reimer is a thirty-year-old trans woman in Winnipeg who comes across evidence that her late grandfather-a devout Mennonite farmer-might have been transgender himself. At first she dismisses this revelation, having other problems at hand, but as she and her friends struggle to cope with the challenges of their increasingly volatile lives-from alcoholism, to sex work, to suicide-Wendy is drawn to the lost pieces of her grandfather's life, becoming determined to unravel the mystery of his truth.
